Abstract

This study aimed to identify the obstacles faced by students at the Faculty of Design and Arts, JeddahUniversity in learning through the Blackboard system and its correlation with their attitudes towards virtual learning. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive survey approach was used, and the researcher prepared a questionnaire to identify the obstacles and a scale of attitudes. The instruments administered electronically to a simple random sample consisting of (254) students from the four majors at the faculty. The results have shown that female students face medium-degree of obstacles in terms of learning via Blackboard system, whether in the total degree or in the following points: technical constraints, obstacles related to faculty members, and obstacles related to female students. They also face a high degree of obstacles in the curriculum. The results also showed that the level of female students' attitudes toward virtual learning is medium, with a negative statistically significant correlation between obstacles and attitudes, as well as the existence of variance attributed to the difference in specialization in favor of the specialization of drawing, arts and fashion in the obstacles questionnaire, and in favor of interior design in terms of the attitudes.
